Method
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in cold water.

Add quinoa to 400ml of boiling water, stir and cover with a lid, heating on low heat simmering for 20 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed.

Remove from the heat, drain off excess water and let stand for 10 minutes.

When ready, separate the grains with a fork.

Add spinach to quinoa and cover to allow spinach to wilt.

Chop tomatoes and grapes in half, combine with flaked salmon, raisins and add the sesame seeds.

Place the pesto in the yoghurt and stir well, add black pepper to taste.

After 10 minutes standing, test the quinoa to ensure the grains are firm but without crunch. Now add in the coriander, basil and dill.

You can serve the quinoa with the pesto/yoghurt mixture separately or combine.
